I know that more likely than not, I will have to go take a bus to the terminal from the plane and then go through security. However, I was curious if I had to go through any sort of customs/immigration line because it's two intercontinental flights.

And do you know if I would have to wait for checked luggage or if it would transfer automatically to my final destination?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I don't want a repeat of last time at FCO.

I'd worry about any 55 minute connection from a TATL at FCO.

It would help if you provided the names of the airlines. For example, the issues of bags relates as much to whether or not the carriers have an interline agreement. If you can't check the bags all the way through, there is no way you'll make the connection.
